Ed's Story

Updated July 24, 2016: Life Still crazy after all these years! Living out in Valrico with Peggy and our 7 kids (cats). We got married July 15th 1989. Still riding and racing the motorcycles I cannot get away from. Retired from the Navy in 1990 (Special Ops Boat Crew direct support for SEAL Team 4). Got to do the last 4 /12 yrs at Macdill with U.S.Special Operations Command. Shore duty!! I do hope all my old classmates are well and their loved ones as well. Sombody put me on the list so I can attend another reunion!!! Update: Everybody loves a good time. Any plans for a reunion soon? I did not get to graduate from Leto. Most of you know I left in my senior year to go to Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia from 1972 until mid 1974. I moved back to Tampa in 1974 and then later left again while in the Navy assigned to US Navy Special Warfare Group 1 and 2. I was assigned to Coronado and San Diego, Ca. and Little Creek VA. I went back around the world and went back to Africa where I grew up as a kid in the Congo and Kenya from the spring of 1964 until the summer of 1969. I spent time in Afghanistan, Egypt, Saudi, South Africa, Morocco, France, Japan, the Philippine's, San Sa...Expand for more
lvador, Australia and Panama (three times including Operation Just Cause Dec,1989). I was in Diego Garcia and we planed and practiced for the invasion of Grenada in '83 and Lebanon. I was assigned to two submarines and several ships and an Assault Helicopter attack squad on the USS Carl Vinson before being assigned to USSOCOM at MacDill AFB, Tampa. Keep in touch everybody!!! Thanks so much for all the emails I have received from all of you. Especially my best buddy Eric Zoller. Friends for 46 years and going strong. Eric kept writing me letters when I was in Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. Most people stopped writing after awhile. They thought I would not come back. Eric wrote me and sent me photos while I was at sea and deployed to many combat/conflict areas for so many years in the 80's. It kept me going that somebody took the time to write me a letter. Eric said he knew I would come home. After many injuries I came home and I am still at home. I am a lifetime DAV Member and a lifetime American Legion Member and I am proud I served and fought for my country!!! I am also now retired from Teco Energy. I retired July 1, 2015. 25 years there. Eddie T Bless all of you!!
